Does Overstock.com really sell overstock?

Since I live in Australia, I had a look at overstock.com and it seems like the same as we have like Crazy Clarks, The Warehouse and a few other stores including Rugs-A-Million or the liquidators. I get the feeling, that they want to make a big deal of nothing. Yes they are probably overstocked, by buying liquidated stock for next to nothing, placing a few bucks on it and hope it sells. They prob buy bulk lots of last years stock very cheaply and sell it a lot cheaper then it was a year ago. Most of these type of stores, buy bulk stuff oversea's, or company's that go broke. All I can say, if you want the item, go for it. However keep in mind, that it may be older stuff and most likely cheaper versions of the newer stuff. Many of our retailers, advertise, we have to move $5 million dollars of stock in the next month, so we slash prices, etc. That's crap, they do not have $5 million bucks of stock in their possession. They just want you to think the word SALE just to get you in. The store may hold a TV maker in a possition, that if they can sell 'x' amount of that brand and type of tv, that maker will honor however many they sell for that price during that sale time. Sales are not meant to help people like you and me, they are to help the stores and makers to cash in. Be like me, if I do not need whatever, don't get it, just because you may save a few bucks because it is on sale, you save nothing, if you spend. If you really need something, then shop around for the best price. Hope this helps ya.

Probably not but it is a good marketing name thus making the potential buyer think that they have everything and anything they may want or need...

Hi Frank,

I used to live in Sydney for about three and a half years. The seafood there is remarkable! I really miss the rock oyster and huge abalone there! Ha! Ha!

Right now, I am a seller in USA. Our company has lots of stocks like silicone skins, crystal cases, leather cases, car & wall chargers, USB data cable, etc. for MP3 players (like Apple iPod, Microsoft Zune, Sandisk Sansa, Insignia Pilot, Sony, Toshiba Gigabeat, etc), iPhone & laptop. Our website is www.summitimage.com.

As mentioned by you, the overstock.com is no good at all. I am wondering if you can give me some suggestions regarding wholesale of our products to retailers in Australia or elsewhere online. We sell goods at very reasonable price.

If you don't mind and have the time, your great opinion would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Annemarie
